The organization was formed to support professional career women in the petroleum industry through technology and information.

Through monthly breakfast meetings and special seminars, SPWP covers all aspects of drilling and production operations and constantly seeks to further expand these parameters of knowledge. Much of this is achieved through the tremendous support of the companies and the individuals who appreciate SPWP's serious dedication and share this technology and information.

SPWP's membership consists of women who have active careers in oil related fields, such as Engineering, Geology, Sales, Research, Finance, Law, Purchasing, Advertising, Quality and Marketing. Membership is available through sponsorship of an active member, and is contingent on participation in meetings and fund-raising events.
